F the system

 a tribute to Street Livin' by The Black Eyed Peas

they said I'm colored
But I see things in black and white

they said I'm a murderer
the reasons for all the suffering

neglecting
prejudice
for who I am
what I am

"what's with the beard?
tryna bomb and hijack?"

over generalizing
over everything

you thought I'm in terror
But I stayed sober

I was unplugged
you're still phobic

you're blinded by the system
you're cheated by the system
you're lied by the system

you're trully
fucked by the system

khayal ii

bits and pieces
here and there

from slopes to hills
up to mountains and skies

from yesteryear
to here and now

phrases by phrases
phases by phases

connecting the dots
recollecting
broken thoughts
lost memories

completing dislocated puzzles

unsettled
unresolved
stumbles

the struggle is true

knocks bruises and cuts
the real remedy
to this nonexistent spaces

Gurindam Jiwa

Tuai padi antara masak

Esok jangan layu2an

Intai kami antara nampak

Esok jangan rindu2an

Anak china pasang lukah

Lukah di pasang di Tanjung Jati

Di dalam hati tidak kulupa

Sebagai rambot bersimpol mati

Batang selaseh permainan budak

Daun selaseh dimakan kuda

Bercherai kaseh talak tiada

Seribu tahon kembali juga

Burung merpati terbang seribu

Hinggap seekor di tengah laman

Hendak mati dihujung kuku

Hendak berkubur di tapak tangan

Kalau tuan mudek ke hulu

Charikan saya bunga kemboja

Kalau tuan mati dahulu

Nantikan saya di pintu shorga

Gurindam Jiwa

seperti selalunya
angin bertiup dan berlalu pergi
di kala hari melabuh tirai
ditemani gerimis hujan
walau rintiknya
rintik yang pilu
menyegar di tiap nafas

hari yang makin tak menentu
memahami deru ombak jiwa
yang pasang surutnya tiada henti
sebagai peneman di kala jiwa melara

hati ini mengerti
sinar mentari kan menanti
di hari esok
walau terbitnya nanti
seribu tahun sekali pun
jiwa ini kan tetap
sabar menanti

gelap awan sekali pun
kan akhirnya
memecah terang gemilang

writer's block

from dream to dream
I stuck
like a loop
a broken record
keep on spinning
on the same track
there's no rewind
there's no flashback
it was all
